Chapter 634: Guidance
Madam Xie stepped forward to help her up. "I heard what you just said."
"I'm the only one who heard it. It so happens that I wanted to talk to you. I've already arranged for Mrs. Chu and the two children to be sent back to rest. Shall we go to my courtyard?"
"Madam's gracious invitation, I dare not refuse." Ye Muyu didn't expect Madam Xie to be so straightforward, which made her feel more comfortable. She was willing to establish a relationship with her and followed her to the inner courtyard.
In the courtyard, Ye Muyu immediately noticed the lotus flowers blooming everywhere.
This season was the time when lotus flowers bloomed.
Moreover, beside the courtyard, there were also flower racks displaying various precious peonies, chrysanthemums, and more.
Ye Muyu only glanced at them and felt that they were incredibly beautiful. She usually found them very pleasant to look at.
"Do you like these flowers, Ah Yu?"
"These flowers were all brought back by Eldest son and Second son from their business trips. They said I like flowers, so they bought them whenever they saw something beautiful. Actually, I don't need so many. Ah Yu, see which one you like. I'll have a pot sent back with you later. Flowers are only beautiful when appreciated by someone. It's a pity to keep them here where I rarely have time to admire them."
Without waiting for Ye Muyu's reply, Madam Xie continued, "You probably don't know which flowers are easy to care for. This Luoyang hibiscus is relatively easy to care for. Just water it regularly, which suits your family's situation."
After Madam Xie spoke, a servant promptly took away the selected flowers, clearly indicating that they were intended for Ye Muyu.
"By the way, I noticed a faint fragrance on you. Is it from a sachet made of flowers?"
Before Ye Muyu could refuse the flowers, Madam Xie had already made all the arrangements. Ye Muyu thought for a moment, feeling that it would be overly coy to refuse at this point, so she graciously accepted it. She smiled and took out the handkerchief from her waist, handing it to Madam Xie. "It's not a sachet, but I used white orchids to make orchid essential oil, and then soaked the handkerchief in it to create a faint fragrance."
"Oh? This is the scent of white orchids?" Madam Xie sniffed it with curiosity. "It smells quite good. But I've never paid attention to this kind of flower before."
"It's normal for Madam not to know. After all, white orchids are just ordinary wildflowers. They're not famous."
"I must have seen too little. In the future, if there's a chance, I'll take a look." Madam Xie sighed sincerely.
Ye Muyu added, "If Madam doesn't mind, when I return home, I'll pick some and bring them to your mansion. If you like them after seeing them, transplanting them will be simple."
"Then I'll thank you in advance." Madam Xie lightly patted her hand and whispered, "These peonies and the like are an invisible rule among wealthy families. Madams compare them with each other. Actually, I don't like them very much either. In the future, when Chu Heng achieves something, you'll encounter more of these Madams and Misses. If you don't understand something, just come and ask me. Otherwise, you might be laughed at behind your back and people like that won't stop gossiping."
"Thank you very much for the guidance, Madam." Ye Muyu sighed. Madam Xie had directly given her some advice. As the mistress of the Xie family, she must know a lot, but she also had her pride and might not be willing to share with just anyone.
This favor was not small.
Ye Muyu thought about how to repay her.
"You don't need to be polite with me. Just be comfortable. I'll only speak the truth to you." Madam Xie patted her hand again, instructing the servants behind her to leave.
